N*E*R*D is alternative rock/funk/rap group which formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States in 2001. The group consists of lead singer Pharrell Williams (vocals, keys, guitar), Chad Hugo (guitar, bass) and Shay Haley (drums). The band is best known for the songs “Rock Star”, “Everyone Nose” and “She Wants to Move”.
Williams and Hugo are also known as the Grammy-winning production duo The Neptunes.
N*E*R*D’s sound is a blend of rock, hip-hop, and R&B. N*E*R*D stands for “No-one ever really dies”.
Williams and Hugo originally recorded the band’s debut album, In Search Of…, for European release in 2001 using similar digital production techniques used on Neptunes-produced records. However, they decided that if N*E*R*D was to be different from The Neptunes, it should sound different. This led to them re-recording the album (still titled In Search Of…) with the power pop band Spymob for worldwide release in 2002.
In Search Of… achieved moderate success in the United States.: the album reached number 59 on the Billboard 200; its first single,
Lapdance, reached the top 40 on the rap charts; and its second single, Rock Star, reached the top 40 of the modern rock charts in the US and is still incredibly popular today. “Lapdance” also went top 40 in the Netherlands and its music video received heavy airplay on American MTV2. The album was well-received by critics even though it was not as successful as many of the Neptunes’ productions for other artists.

Just wait til you actually get some new songs to decide where the band is going. I can see where you guys are coming from because I felt the same way but give Rhea a chance, I believe Chad and Pharrell have good judgement

Point52 - Wow. 'Hip-Hop fags?' What about emo fags? Jacoby Shaddix is taking that band for a ride down the coaster, from which there is no going up ever again.

Rhea can SING and she's also has a decent flow. Definitely a welcome addition. Just saw them open for Jay-Z and was more than impressed. Chad was absent though...

iheartnikes, last time I checked N*E*R*D is NOT hip-hop. I'm worried about the band reducing themselves to formulaic fodder just to increase airplay. On paper, this is the exact same move Black Eyed Peas made with the incursion of Fergie on Elephunk, which boosted their commercial appeal drastically. Now it seems as if N*E*R*D is looking to duplicate that level of success, and the feeling is unsettling. I just hope they aren't compromising themselves artistically. They need to find a source of inspiration that will allow them to produce an album of the same caliber as In Search Of...and Fly or Die. Seeing Sounds had the refreshing nostalgia of their debut, but for the most part, not the tunes to match.
